 AB    The authors report one case of AIDS-related-like Kaposi's sarcoma (KS)
       in a 59-year-old bisexual man without HIV-1 and HIV-2 infection. KS
       developed while the patient was receiving both androgen and steroid
       therapy for aplastic anemia, and regressed after their simultaneous
       interruption, despite the persistence of aplastic anemia. The authors
       discuss the etiology of KS in the patient, with a special regard to a
       putative role of the androgen therapy. The authors examine the arguments
       of the literature, probably underestimated, that may suggest a role of
       sex hormones in the pathogenesis of KS.
